Chitpur Jatra Para !
Like many other shows-Jatras too are waiting for the final nail in the coffin.It was once patronized by the Rajbaris of North Calcutta & elsewhere and gained popularity among the towns and villages of Bengal. The Chitpur Jatra para in North Calcutta have seen better days. Later artists like Shanti Gopal & other extremely bright personalities made the Natta Companies prosper & reach a certain peak. The big placards and buzz in that area seems to be diminishing and with it -we are fast losing a long cherished tradition.The Natta Co- mpanies figure came down from 140 to around 30 within ten years !
